I'd like to add the clarification that the description meta tag does not actually improve your rank in Google but can make or break your click-through rate. Per Google, "While accurate meta descriptions can improve clickthrough, they won't impact your ranking within search results. We frequently prefer to display meta descriptions of pages (when available) because it gives users a clear idea of the URL's content. " It's always good to see the basics put so well. Take care, Chris Great article.

I'm actually sending this to the President of my company, whenever I tell him, "We need to change the URL from /456_990 to /calling-card-to-India" he always puts up a wall and tells me to "focus on other aspects of my job."
